Chapter 32 Learning the Eight Strands

Since Jia Yucun resigned, although Lin Jin did not study with other gentlemen, he was not in a free-range state. She reads and practices calligraphy every day, and writes an article to Lin Ruhai every ten days, and she can also ask him for advice on difficult problems encountered while reading, and in addition, Wu Jiugong also pointed out to her.

In her opinion, her current way of reading is good, but Lin Ruhai knows that no, she still has to study with the teacher. The qualifications of their own children are clear to themselves, and among the three children, Shu Lin Jin has the worst qualifications.

This one is the worst, not that she is ordinary, but compared to her sister and brother, it is worse. But in Lin Ruhai's opinion, she is actually very talented, but her talent is a little wrong, most of it is in counting, and it is so much worse in poetry and songs.

In contrast, although Yang Lin is young, has just been enlightened, and has not officially studied, her talent is still higher than that of Lin Jin. As the eldest sister, Daiyu is the smartest one among the children in the family, but unfortunately she is a girl, no matter how smart and clever she is, it is useless, because in this world, it is impossible for Yi'an Jushi to appear.

Although Lin Ruhai is not partial, sometimes, he still can't help but think about how good it would be if the qualifications of Daiyu and Lin Jin were exchanged with each other. After all, in this era when women can no longer be famous, no matter how talented Daiyu is, as a woman, she is destined to waste in the inner house, after all, she can't use her intelligence to find a brilliant future for herself, and she still has to rely on her husband and her mother's brother.

Lin Jin didn't know that Lin Ruhai just thought that she was biased, and her evaluation of her was not low, in fact, even if she knew, she didn't have anything to be complacent, because she knew what kind of level she was now, and she was the way she was now, mainly relying on the skills she learned in her previous life and the existence of the library.

Knowing that she was a girl and couldn't pass the level of the physical examination when she participated in the scientific examination, before she officially read and started writing the Bagu essay, Lin Jin was lucky, and she was still eager to try the imperial examination, thinking that she might be able to find a way to fool the physical examination and take the exam.

But after she began to learn to write Bagu Wen, she completely extinguished the small flame of the imperial examination.

As a reasoned ancient style prose, after so many years of development, the format is fixed, and the thinking has become extremely rigid, and because it uses the scriptures and meanings, it is all the annotations of Cheng Zhu Lixue, which are not allowed to be changed.

For example, if we describe a dark night, we can use the words pitch black and jet black, but when writing the Bagu essay, it is right to use jet black, and it is wrong to use pitch black. As for the reason, there is no reason, it is such a provision. No matter how you say it or use it, you have to use it this way when you write it.

As we all know, the text is broad and profound, and the same few words, in different orders, have different meanings. For example, repeated defeats and repeated defeats are obviously the same four words, the former expresses an indomitable spirit in defeat, and the latter is a simple statement of defeat, giving people a feeling of "waste".

But when writing the eight-strand essay, it is not allowed to make this word game, to make it similar to mathematics one plus one equals two, the result is clear, but the text can never be the same as science, one is one, two is two, therefore, many words, many words, when writing the eight-strand essay have a limit.

If Lin Jin is a local native, she would have learned from scratch, but she is not, so it is a very painful thing for her to write Baguwen. Although she was not an honor student when she was studying, she was not particularly bad, at least when she took the exam, she could still write a lot of papers, but now she writes Baguwen, which is really word by word, squeezing out like toothpaste, which is really very painful.

Although she disguised it well, in fact, she was disgusted with writing Baguwen, because of this disgust with learning, her Baguwen was even worse written, and under the vicious circle, she felt that she would never be able to write Baguwen.
